I noticed a ticking sound, sounded like the mechanical cooling fan striking something at variable times.
Found a thin piece of dried brittle rubber coming out ( hanging out) of the front of the harmonic balancer. Looks like it is sandwiched in between two round metal parts of the harmonic balancer. I cut off the part that was hanging out and striking the fan, drove it 35 miles with no problem, but it looks like more may come out over time. Anyone know what that piece of rubber does or why it is there?
